Course Details
Workplace mental health isn’t just a personal concern—it’s a business-critical issue. Stress, anxiety, and burnout don’t just affect individual well-being; they impact productivity, morale, and workplace culture. Yet, many employees struggle in silence due to stigma or lack of support.
This course is designed to equip employees, managers, and workplace leaders with the skills and confidence to recognize, support, and respond to mental health challenges in the workplace. Through practical techniques, real-world scenarios, and the internationally recognized ALGEE model, participants will learn how to identify early signs of mental distress, provide immediate first aid support, and guide individuals toward professional help when needed.
What You’ll Learn:
- Recognize and respond to common mental health issues—identify stress, anxiety, and depression before they escalate.
- Develop mental health first aid skills—apply active listening, body language, and questioning techniques.
- Break the stigma and create a supportive workplace culture—promote open conversations and early intervention.
